About Lily
Lily Divino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Lily uses trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions. She writes plainly and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer priorities, and ways to manage overwhelming feelings in everyday life.
She also brings a family systems perspective when relevant. That means she looks at how family of origin issues and current family dynamics affect choices and wellbeing. Lily pays attention to cultural identity and to the ways systems and work demands shape stress and burnout.
Lily has worked in healthcare and community settings for much of her career. This experience informs how she supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or recovery from sexual violence or other trauma. She can help people who are processing guilt, shame, or ongoing safety concerns.
When someone wants to explore life purpose, Lily helps them notice values, strengths, and small practical changes. She frames work as collaborative and paced to the person's needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how they want to proceed.
Approaches for online sessions and how they help
Trauma-informed care focuses on recognition of past harms and how they affect current stress and behavior. It helps people who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, or ongoing safety concerns by prioritizing pacing and emotional regulation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, panic, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns through practice and skill building.
Lily also uses a family systems perspective to see how family dynamics shape choices and patterns. That viewpoint can clarify recurring conflicts and help identify small changes that reduce stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lily will work with each person to test techniques, notice what helps, and adjust over time based on goals and preferences. That process is part of deciding which methods fit best for stress, life changes, or questions about purpose.
